St Louis Power Voters Dominate the Debate!

October 4, 2008 | By Brianna Cayo Cotter
Sorry for being late getting an update on St Louis up. I can honestly say that our experience at Wash U with Power Vote was one of the most inspiring of my life. The Wash U students were out before dawn and after dusk getting the word out about clean energy. In one day, they got over 1,000 Power Vote pledges (that's 1/6 of their campus), talked to thousands of young voters, did scores of interviews, took on the "clean coal" liars, and made Power Vote THE thing on campus that day. My favorite part of the day was when busloads of So Illinois students came in the late afternoon and we rallied and pledged together and marched through campus as the sunset. As one student told me afterwards, today this became more than an extraculicur activity- this is a movement! Yes it is. We've got some awesome video that we'll try to get up before the end of the weekend.
